An al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria closed a base earlier this month after an experiment with unconventional weapons went awry, a senior U.S. intelligence official said Monday.
The official, who spoke on the condition he not be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, said he could not confirm press reports that the accident killed at least 40 al Qaeda operatives, but he said the mishap led the militant group to shut down a base in the mountains of Tizi Ouzou province in eastern Algeria.

A preview of the horror that is coming.
Instead of spending a trillon dollars on a “stimulus” plan (really just a massive looting of the national treasure) on Democrat Pork… immediately secure the borders, initiate a credible civil defense and rapid national WMD disaster response program and create a single al Qaeda Hunt & Destroy Task Force of at least 50,000 special forces that are not subject to ridiculous rules of engagement designed by civilian attorneys instead of military strategists and eliminate this enemy before they eliminate us.
Forget water boarding, and instead use horrendous torture as this is the only thing that will break these fanatics just as the Bomb was the only way to end WWII. Not politically correct, but obviously required.
The economy will be quickly forgotten once a WMD attack happens and millions of Americans die.
Unfortunately, under the current circumstances such an attack will happen here, sooner rather than later as this report clearly indicates. It’s time the public is made aware just how serious this is. Most Americans have no clue that we are even at war.
Ref. Rob Pfriender’s comment above – I agree 100% ! It is time to rid the earth of those terrorist fanatics once and for all!
This whole story sounds rather weak.. For example:
1. So what is it? Did they get plague from some sort of biological weapons program or “through poor living conditions in their forest hideouts?” Which is it?
2. Re “Dr Khrupinov, once arms adviser to Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev, added: “Instead of using bombs, people with infectious diseases could be walking through cities.”” If this the case why did they stay in their camp and nicely die vs. hopping the bus to the nearest town??
Color me skeptical..
Well said Rob I wish more people would open their eyes. The media needs to be removed from the combat zone as well. This would help out a ton.
This was not a lab to create but a distribution point. These guys were there to infect themselves, then disberse to targets around the world, infecting people all along the way.
I agree…. Who cares about the economy when a plague has hit home!
(edited) Tom Clancy has already figured out how to do this dirty deed. Want to bet that UBL and his boys have their very own copy of the novel? Ebola, weaponized Ebola. Good luck to us all.
Although the numbers involved in the Hunt and Destroy task force are a bit on the high side, I believe it is an excellent idea.
Excuse me, but, are you guys out of your minds?
“that are not subject to ridiculous rules of engagement designed by civilian attorneys instead of military strategists and eliminate this enemy before they eliminate us.”
That “civilian attorneys” are the only thing that keeps you safe from government, military, or any other thing thay you can’t protect yourself. In that case, if a seriel killer lives next to you, than your special forces can slaughter all the neighberhood. No biggy, that guy needed to be killed.
Believe it or not, OTHERS have also have a right to exist. And fanatics? Pff… That’s what fanatism is, eliminating every single human right and secure and honest political gain just because of fear.
By the way, the story could be possible, but not credible at all. The only source for the story is the Intelligence Officer.
